Title
The LORD JUSTICE and COUNCIL to the LORDS in ENGLAND.
Date
15 Dec 1579
Description

Turlough Lenought complains of the great injuries done him by the Earl of Essex, in taking away of his uriaughtes, and prays that the fort at Blackwater may be delivered to his hands. Con McNeill Oge is at Turlough's devotion, and has preyed Lecaill. 700 Scots are landed at the Banne, and young Henry O'Neil's mother is looked for with a greater company. The whole number will be distributed between the Earl of Desmond and Turloughe. The decays in the bands in Munster are not less than 300 or 400. You wish that the most of the forces should be bent towards Munster; but when these cashings are past and the forts in Leaxe and Offallie guarded, there will be few footmen or none to defend the northern borders.

Droughda, 15 December 1579. Signed.

II. "A note how the numbers are employed." [Sir Peter Carewe is mentioned as captain of 100 men at Imokilly.]

Postscript.--We pray you to signify what shall be done with The Achates.
